Tag Heur 250 Testing and Qualifying
Published September 23, 2005 in Endurance | Kyle Williams

Testing went well at the Brands Hatch Tag 250 for the Edwards/Warburton duo; they ended up 2nd in GT3 and have high hopes for qualifying.

Qualifying 1 went badly for the duo as they had a gearbox failure, this resulted in no 3rd gear and they only managed to limp round and do their mandatory 3 laps each. They ended up 10th in the GT3 class which was a difficult starting position for the first race.

For second qualifying the team had put a new gearbox brought from Trackspeed into the Porsche. Steve Warburton went out and one of the driveshaft seals broke and he came into the pits dead last, the team fixed the problem and Edwards went back out to set a time. But all was not well as Trackspeed who had built the gearbox had put 5th and 6th gear the wrong way round! This meant that Edwards could not go as fast as possible, but still setting a time good enough for 5th place on the grid for the second race.
